Apple shipped its most significant MacBook Pro update in years this week: the M6 MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR display and, for the first time in Mac history, a touch screen. The 9to5Mac Overtime crew, Jeff and Fernando, break down whether the touch input actually works in practice or just looks good in a spec sheet.
The episode also covers the M6 MacBook Pro in full alongside two other simultaneous releases: the iPad mini 8, which finally moves to OLED, and whatever else Apple dropped to close out its hardware calendar. Three products in one week is not a quiet news cycle, and the hosts treat each one with the scrutiny it deserves rather than a single breathless recap.
The touch screen Mac debate is the reason to watch this in full. Apple resisted touch on macOS for over a decade while the rest of the industry moved on. Hearing two people who use Macs daily argue about whether that resistance was right, and whether the implementation now justifies the wait, is more useful than any spec comparison.
